Of course, I'd so much rather have Phillip leave tonight. But his votes will help him advance. I'm thinking that Hollie's time will finally be up this week. I just hope it's not another surprise elimination of Jessica...

The judges tried their best to give Hollie the KOD last night, they hated her second song. I thought her first song, "Faithfully" was probably the best she's ever done, and as always, she was beautiful and perfectly dressed. She knows how to draw the audience's eye but never over done.

Phil's first song was forgettable. There is a pattern he's developing when he sings that annoys me when I watch him. He smiles/grimaces as he pronounces his words and it's so not in keeping with the words. I hope I'm wrong about who goes home, I want it to be Phil.

No surprises that Hollie was gone. But it was one of the more emotional eliminations for me this season. To watch her grow from last season, come back strong, then lose herself somewhere in the middle and always barely escaping elimination, to the improvements she made the past few weeks... She really had an incredible journey on Idol and even as a viewer, I'm proud of how much she has blossomed. Her elimination song, The Climb, was sang beautifully and really moved me. The girl has loads to be proud of!

Now we have two guys in the Final Three. I still feel that Phillip could win. He's just like Scotty. We don't know where his huge amount of votes is coming from, but the support just exists. Heh...
